For census purpose, the household can be regarded and should be noted as a separate one if person or group of persons are living separately and dining in a separate kitchen without any legal procedures. Usually the counting should be done from the place where household resides. If a person or group of persons are living and dining in a separate kitchen due to any kind of reason apart from main household then the counting is done from the separate household where they are living not from the main one.
In some households, head of the household or children or other members of the household
might be residing in other places or away from home or due to trainings or education, in such cases the current place of residence is the place where counting is done. There could be some misconception that the counting should be done from the original place, in such cases the respondent from the original household should be clarified about the chances of double counting. So the counting from the household is avoided of such people who generally resides in some other places but is related to the household.
Whereas people usually residing in the same household but is not present at the time of
counting and had gone to other places to household related work or medical treatment/
business for some days, the counting should be done from the main household. One's residing away is written separately only for census provision, this however does not affect in legal procedure.
